Hamilton - Mercedes wouldn't make Leclerc Monaco Q1 mistake

Lewis Hamilton believes that his Mercedes team would not have made the same mistake Ferrari made in Monaco, when they kept Charles Leclerc in the garage, leading to him being knocked out in Q1.

Ferrari thought the Monegasque had gone quick enough to secure his progression to the second session, but they were proven wrong as his time was only the 16th fastest.

Hamilton has now come out and said that Mercedes wouldn’t allow something like that to happen, and said in an interview on GPFans.com: "You go out, you do a lap, and they say you're safe. My first lap, they said I was safe – but I could stay out and do more. I decided to stay out and better my time and see the track improve.
